Objectives: After completing this course, the students will be able to do the following:
Gain an understanding of the power system, future trends, and needs.
Establish an understanding of real and reactive power flow, power factor correction on a per
phase basis with extension of concepts to three phase circuits
Model transformers and transmission lines at an appropriate level to permit calculations under
various load conditions
Introduce students to the study of load flow and gain an understanding of iterative solution
techniques leading to the use of computer simulation methods
Understand the sequence component technique and perform it for system fault analysis.

Final Exam
Attendance requirements: A student is expected to attend class. If you find you must miss a class
due to a legitimate conflict, you should contact the instructor prior to the class. In this case, you are
responsible for learning the material presented in that class and completing homework assignments
and the project on time. Any exceptions/permission for lateness must receive prior approval of the
instructor.
Homework: Homework is due before the class on the due date. Late homework will be penalized
by 25% when handed within 24 hours of the due date, and by 50% when handed in before the
beginning of the next class. Homework will not be accepted after this point. Discussion among
students is allowed. However, copying from each other is not allowed. For homework submission,
staple all the pages and write your name and student ID on the first page.
Exams:
All exams will be open book, open notes, and will require a calculator.
There are no A or B exemptions for this course.
Students are expected to attend all exams. If you find you must miss an exam due to a legitimate
conflict, a make-up will be given only under the following conditions:
The student has informed the instructor of the absence at least 24 hours in advance of missing
the exam.
The student misses the exam due to some situation beyond the student’s control (such as a
serious illness, the family emergency, etc.) which is unexpected, unavoidable, and documented.
The reason for each absence of this sort will be judged case by case by the instructor and, if it is
deemed valid under the above description, a make-up exam will be given.
